The Beauty and Value of Natural Stone

Natural stone offers something no manufactured material can match - authentic character shaped by millions of years of geological processes. Each piece is unique with distinctive colors, textures, and natural variations that give your property one-of-a-kind beauty. Whether you choose granite, limestone, sandstone, or fieldstone, you are working with a material that has proven its durability through centuries of use in historic structures worldwide.

Investing in natural stone masonry adds substantial value to your property. Unlike trendy materials that date quickly, natural stone remains eternally stylish. Its timeless appeal enhances resale value while providing lasting enjoyment for decades. Natural stone requires minimal maintenance, resists fading and weathering, and actually improves with age as it develops a beautiful patina. When properly installed by experienced masons, natural stone features can last for generations with minimal upkeep.

Natural Stone Options and Uses

Every natural stone offers distinct characteristics that make it suitable for different applications. Let us help you select the perfect stone for your project.

Granite

Granite is one of the hardest natural stones available. Its exceptional durability makes it ideal for high-traffic areas, outdoor kitchens, and architectural features that need to withstand heavy use. Granite comes in a spectacular range of colors from soft grays and warm beiges to dramatic blacks with metallic flecks. Its polished surface resists staining and maintains its luster with minimal care. We use granite for countertops, accent walls, pool coping, and decorative columns.

Limestone and Sandstone

These sedimentary stones offer softer, more subtle beauty with warm earth tones. Limestone works beautifully for walls, steps, and patios where you want a refined, elegant appearance. Sandstone provides excellent traction for walkways and pool decks. Both stones weather gracefully, developing rich patinas that enhance their character. We carefully seal these more porous stones to protect against staining while preserving their natural appearance.

Fieldstone and River Rock

For a more rustic, natural look, fieldstone and river rock provide rounded, irregular shapes that blend seamlessly with landscape settings. These stones work wonderfully for retaining walls, garden borders, and water features. Their organic appearance creates outdoor spaces that feel like natural extensions of the landscape. We select stones carefully for color consistency and size variation that creates visual interest without appearing chaotic.

Flagstone and Slate

These flat, stratified stones excel for patios, walkways, and flooring. Flagstone creates beautiful random or geometric patterns with natural color variations. Slate offers refined elegance with its smooth texture and rich colors ranging from gray and green to purple and black. Both materials provide excellent slip resistance when properly finished. We install flagstone and slate with precision joints that allow for proper drainage while maintaining clean, professional lines.
